Frequently
Asked Questions about Diamonds
A guide to evaluating diamond quality and
jewellery craftsmanship. It covers
diamonds extensively. Discussions of gold and associated metals are also included. It is NOT a ten minute appraisal
guide. It may contain more information than is necessary for the engagement ring
shopper and may appear overwhelming, but all of the information contained should
help you to become an educated shopper.
Lets go shopping
Your first stop
should be a local jewelry store. It’s also a good idea to look for a store
with an in-house jeweler so any sizing or custom work can be performed on the
premises.
Before
reaching a final decision on your rings, there are several other consideration
that you should take into account. How long will it take to have the ring
sized? If the ring is being ordered from an outside jeweler or manufacturer,
how much time will be required for delivery and size adjustments, if
necessary? Allowance of sufficient time in advance of your wedding date is
essential.
Remember to
ask questions? Good salespeople like to share their knowledge and experience.
Visit a number of jewelry outlets. Take good notes and compare them as you
shop. Don’t make snap decisions. Think about it overnight. Are the financing
terms competitive? Trust yourself and your own eye. If something doesn’t
look right it probably isn’t. Make the choice that is right for you, not
what someone else wants to sell you.
